Letting Go.
Such is the enormity of saying
goodbye
to a time-honoured love,
that oceans of heartache could never
contain
the unmeasurable flood
of immaculate pain needed before
letting go.
I have been there before and
I know.

Goodbyes are always hard, is it because out of sight leads to out of mind?
Yes maybe -- yet often the heartache keeps coming back like a song. Thanks for your comment Suresh.

Perfectly poemed say's I who for one, has been there too..... Neville

Such a wonderful sadly emotive write Fay.
Thank you Goldy - love can be all that and more.
A sensitive write Fay.
Yes sensitive is the right word and thank you for your visit and comment dear Orchi.
Beautifully said it is unmeasurable! Thank you for sharing this
Much peace and love
My sincere thanks for your wishes here Dan - gratefully welcome that love and peace.
Forever letting go but never quite completely...............
Ah - you have nailed the meaning just so dear L:orna.
Words cannot convey agonies nor ecstacy when felt first hand. The reader has to fill the spaces from their own experiece. As your words show.
For me 'the immeasurable flood' is always topped with a reflection. Whereas the flood has depth of pain, the reflection is of equally tall mountains of pleasure scaled within the relationship. In this way I preserve a positive view of things passed.
And so right you are to find the positive and end with that -- thanks a load for your input my friend.
Thanks for sharing FAY : Love the sentiment in this Poem and the Picture is ME ! Sitting in the WINDOW waiting for my BIG BEAR to Fly in ! SATURDAY it will all come TRUE ! Since I met BRIAN I have known the ECSTASY of LOVE for the first time in my LIFE ! But it also makes SEPARATION : AGONY and should anything happen to BRIAN : Inside I know I would DIE TOO ! Love the POEM !
GOODBYE IS THE HARDEST WORD !
Blessings & Love in all you do !
Yours as always ANGELA 🧡🧡🧡🧡

My Dear Fay,
“Letting Go”...is painful!
Time does not heal wounds and/or pain! The span of time might lessen the pain until a birthday and/or an anniversary comes along...and then full force we feel that pain again! We learn to cope with it but never “Letting Go” of it!
A sensitive and beautiful write!
~Laura~

You’re very welcome, my Dear Fay!💖
I enjoy and admire your writings very, very much! You are an incredible writer!
Have a peaceful night!
"Letting go" of love is painful beyond description. We are left with an enormous vacancy in life, as though standing on the precipice of the Grand Canyon.
Beautifully penned. It captures the heartbreak and flood of emotion, that follows. Where does one go from there? Loved your poem. - Phil A.
Your comment sums up the pain Phil - indeed where does one go from there.- - - thanks so much for your input to what was a difficult subject
